FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to multimodal opioid-free, opioid-sparing analgesic formulations for preventing pain, for pain management and anti-emesis, including but not limited to postoperative pain.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The treatment and relief of pain is one of the most common reasons patients seek medical evaluation. Pain has been defined by the International Association for the Study of Pain as the response to real or perceived tissue trauma. The word “pain” derives from the Latin “poena,” or punishment. Postoperative pain is an example of acute pain. During the perioperative period, clinicians focus attention on helping abolish pain and discomfort associated with noxious stimuli and associated surgical tissue trauma. It is now recognized that many current modalities used to treat acute postoperative pain are incomplete and/or cause significant treatment related conditions, such as opioid related adverse drug effects. The current opioid crisis is an example, where opioids used for unimodal post-operative pain management give rise to significant immediate and chronic opioid related adverse effects, morbidity, and mortality.

Surgical pain causes a generalized and biphasic response. The first response due to direct surgical trauma produces transduction of nociceptive afferent input via c-fiber and a-delta neuronal activation leading to transmission, modulation and perception of pain signals in the peripheral and central nervous system. At the time of surgical trauma, complex inflammatory processes are triggered, leading to further afferent noxious input, causing peripheral and secondary central nociceptive sensitization. This results in a reduction in the stimulation threshold of surrounding nociceptors with increased excitation and recruitment of nociceptive afferents known as wind up neuroplasticity.

Surgical trauma results in a complex local release of inflammatory mediators further contributing to peripheral sensitization and recruitment of higher threshold nociceptors, giving rise to secondary hyperalgesia. where non-painful stimuli like light touch are perceived as painful.

Central sensitization refers to processes occurring at the spinal dorsal root ganglion, dorsal horn, and higher regions of the central nervous system in response to ongoing afferent nociceptor barrage. This leads to an expansion of the nociceptive field size, increased and magnified response to nociceptive stimuli, and a reduction in the afferent stimuli threshold that is perceived as painful.

It is well known in the literature that anesthetic induced postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is the most common adverse drug effect in the immediate perioperative period. Gan T. J. et al. and M. Koivuranta et al., reported that of the patients undergoing general anesthesia, between 30% to 50% of patients suffer from PONV and this rate can increase to 80% in a high-risk subset in patients undergoing general anesthesia, including those patients treated with opioids, over a 24-hour period postoperatively. Therefore, there remains an unmet need for clinically and statistically significant enhanced methods and improvements, improving analgesia, improving, or eliminating PONV compared to standard of care therapies.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

As used herein, “treating” or “treatment” of a disease includes but is not limited to: (1) preventing the disease, i.e., causing the clinical symptoms of the disease not to develop in a mammal that may be exposed to or predisposed to the disease but does not yet experience or display symptoms of the disease; (2) inhibiting the disease, i.e., arresting or reducing the development of the disease or its clinical symptoms; or (3) relieving the disease, i.e., causing regression of the disease or its clinical symptoms.

As defined herein, an “effective amount” means the amount of a compound that, when administered to a mammal for treating a disease, is sufficient to result in such treatment for the disease. The “effective amount” will vary depending on the formulation, the disease and its severity and the age, weight, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of the mammal to be treated.

As defined herein, the term “agonist” refers to an admixture component that enhances a response. The agonist binds to the same site as the endogenous compound or an admixture component and produces the same type of signal, usually of equal or greater magnitude than the endogenous agent. As defined herein, the term “antagonist” refers to an admixture component that diminishes a response. The antagonist binds to the same site as the endogenous compound and diminishes or blocks the signal generated by the endogenous agent.

Surprising Effects

Surprisingly and unexpectedly, more than 92% of patients treated with BKK (one example of the MMOSA formulations herein) infiltrative formulation for Lumbar Discectomies, Decompressive Lumbar Laminectomies, Anterior Cervical Discectomies and Peripheral Nerve Decompressive Procedure surgeries reported very statistically and clinically significant, surprising, and unexpected low to no PONV after 24 hours postoperatively. Importantly, 100% of patients treated with existing unimodal opioid analgesics for the same surgeries would be predicted to report significant PONV after 24 hours of being treated with prior art anesthetics/analgesics. Notably, a majority of patients treated with prior art analgesic techniques, for the same surgeries, would predictably still suffer noticeable PONV after 48 hours of being administered prior art analgesics, almost uniformly opioids.

In one embodiment, 84.8% of patients of the population of patients (>4000 consecutive) treated with BKK (one example of the MMOSA formulations herein) reported no to mild pain, 13.5% reported moderate pain, with only 1.6% of the population of treated patients reporting severe pain through 24 hours postoperatively.

As used herein, the term “infiltrative analgesia” describes analgesia, anti-nociception, anti-inflammatory effects produced in a local nociceptive field by injecting the analgesic agent into and around operative sites, wounds, incisions, or adjacent fascial planes. Examples of fascial plane blocks include but are not limited to transverse abdominis plane, brachial or lumbar plexus plane, erector spinae plane, sympathetic plane or ganglion blocks, or peripheral nerve blocks.

As for an example, Shaikh S, et al. reported that in lumbar surgery, like Lumbar Microdiscectomy, where the anesthetics and analgesics administered intravenously intraoperatively were Propofol 2-2.5 mg·kg-1, Midazolam 1-2 mg, and Fentanyl 1-1.5 μg·kg-1 followed by intravenous Morphine or Ketorolac (Ketorolac Tromethamine). Here, Shaikh S. reported an incidence of postoperative nausea of 61% and postoperative vomiting of 9.4%. Most notably, 16% of patients in Shaikh's series suffered severe postoperative nausea and vomiting with a resultant hospital readmission rate of 5.7% due to severe PONV, whereas only 0.18% patients through 24 hours reported severe PONV in BKK formulation treatment in similar lumbar surgeries with no reported hospital admission or readmission (Table 1 below). Cruthirds D. et al.⁵ also demonstrated that after outpatient surgery, the overall incidence of post discharge nausea has been reported to be 17% and of vomiting 8% which was not seen in over 4000 consecutive patients treated with the BKK Formulation through 24 hours postoperatively.

Recently, Patel prior art demonstrated that Ketamine mixed with Bupivacaine as an intrathecal injectable provided better analgesia than Bupivacaine alone. However, the prior art Patel publication cannot be considered as a guideline or teaching to combine Bupivacaine and Ketamine to reduce PONV because Patel further reported that in the 50 patients studied by her, 28% developed PONV in the intrathecal Bupivacaine only group, and 36% developed PONV in the intrathecal Bupivacaine plus Ketamine group. This PONV incidence of Patel as compared to the reported 4000 consecutive neurosurgical cases using Bupivacaine Hydrochloride as the local anesthetic, Ketamine Hydrochloride as the NMDA receptor antagonist, and Ketorolac Tromethamine as the COX inhibitor used in an infiltrative block, where surprisingly and unexpectedly, 92.7% of all patients through 24 hours postoperatively reporting no PONV (Table 1 below). Patel, et al. does not teach or suggest adding the COX inhibitor, Ketorolac Tromethamine in the intrathecal anesthetic/analgesic composition. Patel also reported from other literature that the administration of Ketamine, alone or in combination with other analgesics, is associated with an increased incidence of PONV and other postoperative complications. Clearly and importantly, the Patel prior art clearly does not motivate or teach, and in fact, teaches, it is counterintuitive, to combine Ketamine with Bupivacaine in order to reduce the incidence of PONV at the time the present invention was discovered. Here, the Patel prior art implicitly teaches away, or in other words, Patel et al. guided attentive clinicians in an opposite directive from the indication, whereas the present invention proceeded and originated contrary to this prior art. Table 1 summarizes this discussion and the unexpected, surprising, and contrary results using innovative MMOSA.

TABLE 1 PONV (nausea & vomiting for the first 24-48 hours post-surgery) % of patients % of patients Formulation with NO PONV with SEVERE PONV Reference Conclusion BKK MMOSA >92%  0.18% Present Dramatic and Invention superior reduction in PONV for BKK Propofol, Midazolam, 30%  16% Shaikh Higher incidence of and Fentanyl at induction et al.

Ketamine increases Bupivacaine 64% No data PONV. Hydrochloride + In contrast, BKK Ketamine Hydrochloride surprisingly reduced PONV.

Clearly, one of ordinary skill would not be able to make a projection or prediction from Patel that the combination of Bupivacaine (Bupivacaine Hydrochloride), Ketamine (Ketamine Hydrochloride), and Ketorolac (Ketorolac Tromethamine) would result in an anesthetic/analgesic that provides a clinically important and statistically significant reduction in postoperative PONV, in which surprisingly and unexpectedly, 92.7% of over 4000 consecutive patients reported no PONV, 0% reported mild PONV, 5.37% reported moderate PONV, and 0.18% reported severe PONV through 24 hours post operatively.

It is well documented in the literature that postoperative pain can have a significant impact on patient recovery, patient safety and experience. Apfelbaum, J. et al. reported of the approximately 73,000,000 surgeries performed in the United States each year, 80% of those patients experience postoperative pain from the immediate postoperative period until 2 weeks after discharge. Of those patients studied by Apfelbaum, 86% reported moderate, severe, or extreme pain and 25% of those patients who received standard of care unimodal opioid-based analgesia reported an opioid adverse drug effect, the majority of times PONV. Gan T. J, et al¹⁰ interviewed 300 patients having surgery within the previous five years finding, 86% experienced pain after surgery, and of these, 75% reported moderate to extreme pain immediately post-operation, with 74% experiencing pain after discharge. Therefore, there is an urgent, and prior to, the present invention, an unmet clinical need to develop, invent, an improved exemplary opioid free multimodal analgesic formulation to significantly reduce postoperative pain and postoperative nausea and vomiting for patients undergoing painful surgeries or painful procedures.

The opioid-free formulation of the present invention allows for a non-addictive simple and effective alternative to pain management without the morbidity of PONV. This approach is especially critical to help prevent opioid addiction and overdose that may result from using opioids for the tens of millions of inpatient and outpatient procedures performed annually in the US and contributing to the current opioid crisis. As of October 2017, the US Government declared the opioid crisis pandemic, a public health emergency. Opioid overdoses claimed over 100,000 lives in 2022, with 45-50 overdose deaths per day. In the US, a patient dies of an opioid overdose every 4-10 minutes. There are over 53 million inpatient and 57 million outpatient procedures performed in the US annually and the majority are exposed to opioids. Of patients treated with opioids perioperatively and prescribed opioids postoperatively, one patient of every 7 treated with opioids will have morbidity, and of these patients an increased risk of mortality. The Joint Council of Economic Advisors found that the cost of the current Opioid Pandemic in 2020 to be more than 1.5 trillion dollars annually, up 37% from 2017 when measured and reported by the CDC. Therefore, the current invention provides an opioid-free analgesic/anesthetic allowing for a “non-addictive”, much needed innovation, to treat acute pain and avoid or eliminate an initial or repeated opioid exposure, opioid related adverse effects, morbidity, and mortality.

According to some embodiments, surprisingly, more than 25% of postoperative neurosurgical patients treated with an intraoperative MMOSA formulation (BKK infiltrative formulation) for Lumbar Discectomies, Decompressive Lumbar Laminectomies, Anterior Cervical Discectomies with Fusion and Peripheral Nerve Decompressive surgeries reported NO PAIN through 24 hours in 4000 consecutive neurosurgical cases. Among these same 4000 consecutive neurosurgical cases, through 24 hours postoperatively, 25.40% reported no pain, 59.4% patients reported mild pain, 13.5% patients reported moderate pain, and only 1.6% reported severe pain. The discovery that opioid-free multimodal opioid sparing BKK is an effective, exemplary, multimodal anesthetic/analgesic that abolishes pain completely in more than 25% of 4000 consecutive painful neurosurgical procedures and permit severe pain in only 1.6% of neurosurgeries through 24 hours post-surgery is surprising and unexpected. There is nothing in the reported and published medical and scientific literature that suggests or teaches the combination of the three MMOSA ingredients from three different drug classes, would return this statistically significant, exemplary, unexpected, and surprising result.

Recently, the Wang reference disclosed that sixty-two patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty with spinal anesthesia were treated with either 13.5 mg hyperbaric Bupivacaine with Normal Saline or 13.5 mg hyperbaric Bupivacaine with 2 mg preservative-free Ketorolac. The results suggest that the pain during the first 2 days after surgery did not differ between the Ketorolac and Saline groups, importantly the postoperative opioid use did not differ between the Ketorolac and Saline groups (Table 2 below). Wang reported the presence and area of hyperalgesia and allodynia surrounding the wound objectively measured at 48 h postoperatively was similar from each differently treated group. Therefore, this peer-reviewed and published literature demonstrated inefficiency and lack of clinical efficacy of Ketorolac to reduce postoperative pain, when it is combined with Bupivacaine, as compared to Bupivacaine alone, clearly teaching that a motivation is lacking, it would be counterintuitive, to combine Ketorolac and Bupivacaine at the time the present invention was discovered. The Wang prior art is also pointing researchers in an opposite direction than the direction of the present invention. In other words, Wang et. al. teaches away from the proposed combination of Bupivacaine, Ketamine and Ketorolac as a multimodal analgesic composition, as claimed in the present invention, to significantly reduce postoperative pain.

In another literature, Rahmanian et al. disclosed the clinical ineffectiveness of Local Infiltrative Bupivacaine in Lumbar Laminectomy. Rahmanian reported that 30 mL of 0.25% Bupivacaine Hydrochloride administered as an infiltrative field block at the time of surgical closure was no more effective than 30 ml Normal Saline in decreasing postoperative surgical pain. Pain was assessed at rest using subjective linear VAS scores. In the Rahmanian prior art, VAS scores in the Bupivacaine group were surprisingly higher than the control Normal Saline group (Table 2 below). The Rahmanian reported findings, compared to those reported using BKK infiltration in the exact same surgical procedure, where BKK was used as an infiltrative anesthetic/analgesic in thousands of surgeries, are disruptive and provide contrary teaching, guiding the student of the art away from the current invention. Table 2 summarizes this discussion.

Bupivacaine Saline Infiltrative 0% 0% Hydrochloride was no Block more effective than 30 ml Normal Saline in decreasing postoperative surgical pain.

Clearly, one of ordinary skill would not be able to make a projection from Wang and/or Rahmanian, that the combination of Bupivacaine Hydrochloride, Ketamine Hydrochloride, and Ketorolac Tromethamine would result in an anesthetic/analgesic that surprisingly allows NO pain in more than 25% of patients, mild pain in 59.4%, moderate pain in 13.5% and severe pain in only 1.6% of the BKK treated patients 24 hours postoperatively. Wang and Rahmanian published peer reviewed and reported findings that are contradictory to using the BKK formulation of the present invention in the exact same surgical procedure. The exemplary MMOSA formulations herein, such as but not limited to BKK, clearly provide a clinically and statistically significant improvement compared to standard of care that is counterintuitive and disruptive to existing standard of care therapies.

Example 1

The following is a non-limiting example of the present invention. It is to be understood that said example is not intended to limit the present invention in any way. Equivalents or substitutes are within the scope of the present invention.

The following is a non-limiting example of administering said MMOSA formulation to a patient requiring surgery, for example, Decompressive Lumbar Laminectomy with Fusion:

Preoperative Period

1. The patient is injected at or near the surgical site (thoracolumbar, erector spinae plane, or other fascial plane) with 5 to 60 ccs of the MMOSA formulation 15 to 30 minutes prior to the surgical procedure, or alternatively, at wound closure. The injection may be guided using direct vision or endoscopic assisted identification of anatomic landmarks, ultrasound, electrical stimulation, or x-ray.

Postoperative Period

3. The patient is administered a continuous infusion of the MMOSA formulation delivered through a catheter system incorporated into the tissue adjacent to the surgical incision or placed into or adjacent to a fascial plane. For example, an erector spinae plane block with a continuous infusion via direct placement of anatomically localized maintained and strategically placed catheter(s).

Example 2

The following is a non-limiting example of the present invention. It is to be understood that said example MMOSA formulation is not intended to limit the present invention in any way. Equivalents or substitutes are within the scope of the present invention.

The following provides non-limiting examples of MMOSA formulation preparation.

In one example, the MMOSA formulation is prepared following USP 797/800 guidelines in a 60 cc sterile syringe, final component admixture formulation: 30 cc 0.25% Bupivacaine Hydrochloride with 1:400,000 Epinephrine, 1.0 mg/cc Ketorolac Tromethamine, and 1 mg/cc of Ketamine Hydrochloride diluted with preservative free sterile Normal Saline to 60 cc final volume: (1) Following USP 797/800 guidelines for (non-inordinate) repetitive compounding of complex sterile admixtures, for a single prescribed patient: Dilute 30 cc of 0.5% Bupivacaine Hydrochloride with Epinephrine 1:200,000, admixed and diluted with, 27.4 cc preservative free Normal Saline (NS); (2) Admix 2.0 ml of Ketorolac Tromethamine 30 mg/cc; (3) Admix 0.6 ml of Ketamine Hydrochloride 100 mg/cc. Final admixture volume is 60 cc. The MMOSA formulation can also be prepared in a 50 cc volume with required change in the Normal Saline dilutant volume maintaining similar final formulation concentrations as in the recited 60 cc volume formulation. A student of the art would also comprehend using an alternative amide local anesthetic, alternative concentrations of an amide local anesthetic, Ketamine Hydrochloride, or alternative in class, Ketorolac Tromethamine, or alternative in class, would result in similar and clinically effective final components and concentrations that are clinically efficacious and clinically equivalent to the exemplary formulation, or in a different final volume.

In one MMOSA formulation example, the analgesic formulation is prepared in a 60 cc syringe containing 0.25% Bupivacaine Hydrochloride, 0.6 mg/ml Ketorolac Tromethamine, and 1 mg/ml of Ketamine Hydrochloride: (1) Following USP 797/800 guidelines (for non-inordinate preparation of complex compounded admixtures), for a single prescribed patient: Admix 30 cc of 0.5% Bupivacaine Hydrochloride with 1; 200,000 Epinephrine with 28.2 cc preservative free Normal Saline (NS); (2) Add 1.2 ml of Ketorolac Tromethamine 30 mg/cc; (3) Add 0.6 ml of Ketamine Hydrochloride 100 mg/cc.

In some embodiments the MMOSA formulation comprises Ropivacaine Hydrochloride 0.25% with Epinephrine 1; 200,000, or 1:400,000 as an alpha agonist, Ketorolac Tromethamine 0.3 to 1 mg/cc, and dexmedetomidine 1-10 micrograms/cc as an alpha agonist. In some embodiments the MMOSA formulation comprises Bupivacaine Hydrochloride as the amide local anesthetic in a concentration of 0.1 to 0.5 mg/cc, or Levobupivacaine Hydrochloride 0.1 to 0.5 mg/cc. In some MMOSA formulation embodiments, the alpha agonist is clonidine 1-10 micrograms/cc and the COX inhibitor is Meloxicam 0.02 to 1 mg/cc. The present invention is not limited to these particular MMOSA formulations nor the others disclosed herein.

Example 3

The following is a non-limiting example of the present MMOSA invention. It is to be understood, intuitively obvious to those schooled in the art, that said example is not intended, would not, limit the present MMOSA invention in any way. Clinically relevant substitutions or equivalents or drug class substitutes are within the scope of the present invention.

The following provides non-limiting examples of aspects of administration of MMOSA formulations.

In some embodiments, the MMOSA formulation is administered between about every 6 to 12 hours until the pain completely subsides. In some embodiments, the MMOSA formulation is administered between about every 10 to 16 hours until the pain completely subsides. In some embodiments, the MMOSA formulation is administered, then repeated, between about every 12 to 24 hours, or longer, until the pain is effectively controlled.

In some embodiments, for clinical purposes, the volume of the MMOSA formulation used as a single infiltration may vary from between about 0.1 ml to 1000 ml, as in tumescent infiltration.

In some embodiments, the MMOSA formulation is administered preemptively at or adjacent to the sites of nociception to provide preventative pain relief. In some embodiments, the MMOSA formulation is administered once a day, for example, for fast, extended pain relief or more frequently, such as twice or three times a day, to maintain pain relief. MMOSA formulations used as a single infiltration or continuous infiltration may vary from a single infiltration of 1-100 cc to 1000 cc per day as a continuous infusion delivered by an elastomeric or electronic pump or cassette driver. In some embodiments, the volume of the MMOSA formulation used as a single infiltration may vary from between about 3 cc (e.g., for a dental procedure) to 1000 cc, for tumescent analgesia, intraperitoneal infiltration, liposuction, or hair transplants. for example. In some embodiments, the volume of the MMOSA formulation used as a single infiltration may vary from between about 500 to 1000 cc. In some embodiments, the volume of the MMOSA formulation used as a single infiltration may vary from between about 0.1 to 100 cc. In some embodiments, the volume of the MMOSA formulation used as a single infiltration may vary from between about 0.1 to 60 cc. The MMOSA formulation may be delivered to the surgical site by single injections or through continuous infiltration catheters anatomically placed and/or guidance directed prior to surgery, during surgery, or after surgery, delivered intraperitoneal, or at surgical wound closure, allowing the formulation to be delivered to the surgical site or fascial plane containing nerves that innervate the surgical site.

In some embodiments, the MMOSA formulation may be delivered as a continuous infusion/infiltration for delivering the MMOSA formulation to targeted nociceptors, including muscle, soft tissue including skin, subcutaneous tissue and fat, fascial planes, bone, periosteum, intraperitoneal infiltration, and peripheral sensory nerves. In some embodiments, continuous infusion rates of the formulation vary from 1.0 mL to 100 mL per hour. In some embodiments, continuous infusion rates of the formulation vary from 1.0 cc to 10 cc per hour, for example, ophthalmic enucleation. In some embodiments, continuous infusion rates of the formulation vary from 10 cc to 50 cc per hour. In some embodiments, continuous infusion rates of the formulation vary from 50 cc to 100 cc per hour. In some embodiments, the formulation is administered intradermally, intranasally, active, or passive transdermal, nebulized, rectally, or subcutaneously, using a needle, catheter, and/or syringe. Alternatively, a vibrating mesh nebulizer can deliver MMOSA to the upper airway, intraoral tissues, intranasal tissues, and the pulmonary circulation. The present invention is not limited to any of the specific modes or mechanisms of delivery.

In some embodiments, the MMOSA formulation is used at any surgical or traumatic site on/in the body where nociception reduction is required or desirable. In some embodiments, the MMOSA formulation is used to reduce or eliminate nociceptive pain, other than somatic or neuropathic pain. In some embodiments, the MMOSA formulation can be used in remote, battlefield, or third world applications where other analgesia or anesthesia options are too complicated, expensive, or simply unavailable. MMOSA may be used to treat pain caused by injuries, such as wounds and burns, at/in facilities where medical procedures, advanced trauma life support, dental procedures, obstetrical procedures, veterinary procedures, and cosmetic or reconstructive procedures (cleft lip, cleft palate) are performed. For example, the MMOSA formulation may be administered to a patient having an abrasion, cut, puncture wound, incision, hematoma, fracture, or other skin or soft tissue wound or injury that causes pain. As another example, thermal injuries cause pain and administering the MMOSA formulation administered topically or infiltrated would rapidly reduce the pain associated with thermal injuries.

The volume of the formulation may be determined by a patient's weight and the required clinically effective minimal concentration of the formulation. In a non-limiting example, the required effective minimal concentration of the MMOSA formulation components may be 0.048 to 0.5% of the local anesthetic, 0.12 mg/kg to 3 mg/kg of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist, and 0.4 mg/kg to 1.5 mg/kg of the cyclooxygenase (COX) inhibitor. In some embodiments, the alpha agonist concentration is from 0.001 to 0.5 mg/cc, 1 to 10 micrograms/kg. As a non-limiting example, a patient weighing 160 pounds, or 72.7 kgs, and having a lumbar spinal procedure may safely be administered 60 cc of the exemplary concentrations of MMOSA; 0.25% Bupivacaine Hydrochloride with or without Epinephrine, 1 mg/cc Ketorolac Tromethamine, and 1 mg/cc Ketamine Hydrochloride, and 0.001 to 0.05 mg/cc, 0.1 to 10 micrograms/cc of an alpha agonist. In some embodiments, the alpha agonist is 2.5 micrograms/cc. In some embodiments, the alpha agonist is 1:200,000, 1:400,000 (or a range therein), e.g., epinephrine.

As used herein, the term “about” refers to plus or minus 10% of the referenced number.
